The fact that Gruber points to a "must-read" article about how the watermarking works, which, in turn, was very obviously entirely LLM-generated, says a lot about his lack of experience reading LLM output. If Gruber can't tel

I didn't even know that was a meme. I have vibe coded various projects too, but I find the overzealous monetization very much off-putting. This, paired with the Opus writing all over the place. Seems more like grifting than an actual i

It's not even unreasonable, it's illegal under GDPR. You have to provide a reject all option (for rejecting all non-necessary cookies).

Wow, only one physical location, no failover for a company with that footprint? I guess I'll look into migrating our DNS then.

Thanks, that was really easy to miss, you'd think they'd put that on top.

Apparently Namecheap has been down for some time now, as their hosting provider in Phoenix is having cooling issues: https://status.phoenixnap.com/ Edit: https://www.namecheap.com/status-updates/ is in

I really constantly have to fight the urge to NOT say/write something because it might be obvious or someone might have said it before. Just say it. I recently gave a talk about lessons learned in the past, and it felt really awkward,

Huh, I think the author might be deliberately ignoring how MCP works? - "CLIs need to be published, managed, and installed" -- same for MCP servers which you have to define in your config, and they frequently use some kind of &quo

Does that mean Widevine DRM will be supported officially? Does anyone know?

That is really a bit of an oversimplification IMO. Please check, for example, the Netflix tech blog and read about what has changed in the past 10 years or so when it comes to architecting video processing and video delivery systems. There&

It's just plain Ubuntu actually! I would provide a fix, since getting a PTY is not enough. I can't open a PR because it's not possible with the way you hosted it.

I've been looking for something like this, awesome! Is it expected that it does not allocate a TTY for sudo password prompts when connecting to a remote machine via SSH? How would I use it otherwise?

Um, yes. That's the entire joke.

These LLM-generated blogs aren't going away – they're everywhere. And the best part? You can now instantly push out garbage content at no cost. Traditional writing is not just dead. It's legacy. The real marketer doesn't

Yeah it's a weird comparison to be making. It all depends on how they selected the quality (VMAF) target during encoding. You couple easily end up with other results had they, say, decided to keep the bandwidth but improve quality usin

This VMAF comparison is to be taken with a grain of salt. Netflix' primary goal was to reduce the bitrate consumption, as can be seen, while roughly keeping the same nominal quality of the stream. This means that, ignoring all other fa

Same experience here – it seems I have to specifically tell it to use the "X skill" to trigger it reliably. I guess with all the different rules set up for Claude to follow, it needs that particular word to draw its attention to t

Totally agree with you - the dermal exposure is a different pathway, and that could be more clearly mentioned. The fact that these materials are present are not automatically hazards (but they do state that!). I also wouldn't automatic

While that would be nicer from an end-user perspective, it's something hard to maintain for FFmpeg itself. Consider the velocity of the whisper-cpp project. I'm sure that – just like with filters such as vmaf, which also require b

Note that it's not really "cleaned up" insofar as there is a uv cache folder that will grow bigger over time as you keep using that feature.

Some thoughts based on my anecdotal experience — but it depends on the price you are willing to pay. You can get quite good webcams for $100–300 (from Insta360, Obsbot, Logitech maybe …) which work out of the box with USB-C and have mostly

Since when is the WordPress ecosystem this … bad? I built WP websites 10-15 years ago and it was a quite straightforward experience back then. These days, there seems to be no around themes and plugins that all have very limited free versio
